From a Global Trend to Damascus

Inspired by similar experiences that went viral in Malaysia and Italy, Taqa brought this idea to Syria for the first time, with its own twist. Once you place your order, a mysterious monster hand appears from behind a small window to give you your drink. It’s a fun and unexpected way to get your coffee, especially when you’re visiting with friends and trying it for the first time!

What Can You Try at Taqa?

The cafe serves a variety of drinks, but one of its most popular options is a purple drink made with mixed berries, strawberries, and Greek yogurt. It also has cookies if you’re in the mood for something sweet. Don’t forget to film your friends’ reactions when the creepy hand shows up, especially if they don’t know what’s coming!
